LYON (FRANCE), JUN 16 (AP): Goal-scoring midfielder Caroline Weir joined French champion OL Lyonnes from Real Madrid on a three-year contract on Tuesday.
The Scotland captain played four seasons at Madrid, scoring 63 goals. She has also previously appeared for Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. The 30-year-old has netted 31 goals for Scotland, including 10 this year.
“The club is delighted with this new arrival,” the team said in a statement. “She strengthens Lyon’s midfield thanks to her efficiency in front of goal and her experience at the highest level.”
Lyon has won the Women’s Champions League a record eight times and lost this year’s final against Barcelona.
